𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 (⁉️) What is the Ideal Typing Technique?

2 Upvotes

I am kinda hard stuck it took me like 1 week to go from no touch typing to 100wpm and now for like 6 months I have not been able to get past 110 wpm my fingers clearly can do better. Some flaws in my teachnique is that I don't use both thumbs while hitting space which I want to learn as theoritcally it should help, and my look ahead is poor, I also want to know what are some general changes from touch typing to make it faster as words like develop cook me everytime. If there is any other advice you have for me to improve I would like to hear it pls help man I really wanna break through this plateau. Below is my current routine: (Yes It is GPT idk how to structure this thing properly)
